Lenore brings a differentiated perspective to the sales and marketing leadership role at ClearEdge, offering a unique approach to developing new skills and strengths within existing teams. She joins ClearEdge at a time when the staffing, recruiting, and HR tech industries have reached an inflection point, and the company is uniquely positioned to address clients’ changing needs and expectations.
